99. We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ahmad al-Tabari, that he said: We were told by Abu Sa’eed, that he said: We were told by Khirash, that he said: We were told by my master, Anas, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, went out to his companions and said:

The one who assures two things for me, I will assure to him Paradise. Abu Huraira then said: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah. I will assure them to you. What are they? He said: The one who assures to me that which is between his jawbones and that which is between his legs, I will assure Paradise to him. It means the one who assures (the preservation of) his tongue and genital. The causes of misfortunes open from these two parts. The offense of the tongue is disbelief in Allah, false saying, calumny and faithlessness with regards to the Names of Allah and His Attributes, backbiting, gossip and accusation. That is among the offenses of the tongue. The offense of the genital is intercourse when it is not permitted by marriage nor possession with the right hand. Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: «And those who are, to their genitals, preserving, except upon their wives or what their right hands possess; (in that) they are, indeed, not to be blamed. Hence, the one who seeks beyond that, those are the transgressors.» (70:30-31)
